    Am I missing parts?

    I am glad to finally find people who enjoy and know about these bikes. Theres not many people around my area that know much about em. OK, so I am having a problem with the Rear Final Drive. I think I am missing a part. I bought the bike from a guy who messed with it and let it sit for 3 years, so I don't know what he's done, or what he's lost. As you can see, the Final Drive is rubbing against the bolts on the rear Dust Cover. I noticed in the pictorial thread they mentioned a "large O Ring" on the Final drive side...I don't have one, its just the seal which is flush. Is the O ring what I am missing? Where can I get one? Or some specs so I can have my machine shop at work make me one out of Aluminumnumnum. Thank you for all your help.

    I don't think you have any missing parts, just the wrong bolts holding the dust cover on. It's hard to tell in the pic, but it looks like the dust cover may have been repaired with fiberglass (making the flange thicker) and the bolt head is sticking up way too far. Try replacing the bolts with pan-head or button-head screws, that will probably fix the problem.

    The factory used phillips-head screws, and they were close too....

      It originally had the Panhead screws, and as you can tell by the groove in the final drive, it literally ground them down to where there was no head left. I had to make some repairs (the fiberglass) to fill the holes and cracks. I rough fitted the wheel and can still feel it rubbing on the inside. I would think there needs to be some type of spacer in there or something. I have no other parts other than the assembled Final Drive and the Assembled wheel....I just want to ride my bobber

        Like Steve said, it looks like all the parts are there. There isn't any spacer that goes in there. Do you have anything on the back side of the dust cover? If not it must be the fiberglass buildup.

          I think there is some kind of spacer in behind the dust cover. It's sitting WAY too far out on the hub.

          Take the dust cover off. It should be bolted right to the wheel with 3-5 phillips screws with nothing in between it and the wheel.

            There is nothing on the backside of the dustcover. I got it all together, and went to see if it still did it. Now when I go to Torque it, I get to 35 ft lbs and the wheel wont even spin....I don't get it. I love the ride of the Shaft drive...but damn Chains are a lot easier to work on.

              Here is a pic of the dust cover sitting where it should when installed. I put the T ruler there to show that the cover sits well back from the bolt heads that secure the cushion drive. Ther is PLENTY of room for some little screw heads.



              I'm thinking that maybe that wheel isn't for an XS11. May have swapped one from another bike for some reason.

                hmm. But do most rims have the tapped holes in the rim for the Dustshield? Mine had the holes, but looking at my pic, my Dustshield sticks out wayyyy too far. and there isnt that much fiberglass or epoxy on it

                  The way the cushion drive is attached doesn't even look the same. Look at the bolts.
